Hold the ends of the cord together and find the center of the loop. Take the center of the cord and pull it thru one end of the buckle(either side of the buckle, it doesn't matter). Now pull the cord ends thru the loop until it's tightened up and attached to the buckle.

I tend to make them with free samples from companies that make side release buckles. If you are polite and don't take the mickey, they will happily send you a few. :-)

Do you use gutted paracord, or not? It kind of looks like yours is not gutted, but I can't be 100% sure.

Thank you, Stormdrane, not only for the reply, but for the outstanding instructions. I am having a blast with all the 550 cord my wife had laying around from her airborne days. And after making a watchband for my oldest daughter, I'm her hero for the month. :D
